We try out a park and ride bus to see if it helps avoid Eryri traffic mayhem
Is this an alternative to driving in tourist-clogged national park?
Concerns about over tourism, parking chaos, littering and general friction have blighted the start of the tourist season in parts of Eryri - and the situation will only get more fraught in the coming months.
Daytrippers are urged to use the park and ride buses rather than park illegally but just how viable are they? Aiming to find out if it was a potential answer to avoiding traffic mayhem, I drove to the park and ride car park in Nant Peris (LL55 4UF) near Llanberis.
It's certainly well-signposted with a large "P" and picture of a bus off the A4086. I was surprised at how big the car park was and the toilets are modern and clean. (Inside, there were pictures of a costumed warrior with the anti-litter message suggesting "Legends leave no trace").
I paid ?5 to park for up to eight hours, which gave me more than enough time, and joined the queue for the Number S5 service to Pen-y-Pass.
